"GeneSight" is a laboratory developed genetic test that looks at many of the genes involved when your body processes certain types of medicines. It is the only genetic test that provides this combined view to help your healthcare provider know which medicines may be a match for your genes. GeneSight gives your healthcare provider important information to help you get on the right track.
Multiple clinical studies have shown that when healthcare providers used Genesight to help guide treatment decisions, patients were twice as likely to respond to the selected medication. Plus, with treatment guided by GeneSight, patients saw 70% greater improvement in their symptoms versus usual treatment.
Many commercial and government insurance plans, including Medicare and the US Department of Veteran Affairs, reimburse all or part of the cost of GeneSight. Assurex Health also offers financial assistance programs for patients who qualify.

Is there a difference between a physical and a sports physical?
An annual physical is a general wellness check that focuses on your child's overall health, whereas a sports physical is geared toward your child's ability to safely play a sport.
For life-threatening emergencies, call 911 or go to your local Emergency Room.

UNMC “Connect”
“My aunt Nancy was a nurse. At the time, she was the only medical professional in my family. She was cool, smart, and reminded me to stand up for my patients no matter what. People needing care are at their most vulnerable; we need to be sure they have an advocate.
I had the opportunity to start in a rural hospital at age 16 as a nursing assistant. We learned on the job how to take care of people, and I worked with a fantastic group of nurses. I ‘just knew’ this is what I wanted to do.
One of the nursing supervisors I worked with in high school and college was in a new program at UNMC for nurse practitioners. She interviewed me for a paper she was writing. To say I was intrigued is an understatement. Two years later, I was accepted into UNMC’s family nurse practitioner program at the Kearney Division…” For the rest of the article, follow the link!
